Love you Grandma always and forever.
Love You Always Sharon Yvonne! I couldn’t ask for a better Grandma and best friend. You’ve given me love and acceptance only you could give. So many memories, lessons, tears, and laughter. You’ve always been my Angel on Earth, now you’re my Angel in Heaven watching down. Although a world without you is terrifying, I am so glad all your burdens and struggles are put to rest and all the weights of this world are off your shoulders. You made your impression on the world and it was a big one. I’ll forever remember every precious memory. You’ve given me enough love, laughter, and memories for a lifetime. Love you for Eternity. Don’t stir up too much of a ruckus with dean, max, and your brothers and sisters. Give our babies my love 😘
Love and miss you Aunt Sharon! Love Suzi!
Heather and family,
May your loving memories live forever in your hearts.
Fly with the angels I love you Aunt Sharon 😢💔 Marla
